If you get the Xbox 360 1 red light message, it means that the problem is either with the DVD drive, or with the hard drive.

Fortunately, the Xbox 360 1 red light message is not something that you should worry about.

i repair these myself and only charge if the problem is solved you never know if its just the dvd drive or if the unit has over heated and caused the dvd drive to fail, if this is the case then it wont be long before you get the dreaded red reing of death, which is 3 red lights lit up

let me know if you need further assistance ok

HI the problem is with the console and not the game the chances are it is starting to over heat but do the following first.1 check the air vents and make sure their free from any dust.2 leave the console off for at least an hour.3 make sure your console is not being used whilst its on carpet as this will cause it to over heat really fast4 make sure its not on top of anything else such as dvd or sky box as this to will cause it to over heat5 make sure its not in a confined space it needs to get air circulating around it

now if the red light keeps coming on then the chances are pretty soon you will get the dreaded red ring of death all the time and you wont be able to use the xbox at all.

check the warranty sticker on the back if the console is less then 3 years old then you can contact microsoft via their xbox site and get it exchanged for a refurbished one you wont need a receipt as the sticker on the back of the console will have a date on it so check this first

also if the warranty sticker is still in place behind the front cover then they will exchange it for you but if the console has been opened up then they wont even touch it.

if the warranty is out on your console then the only option is for you to get it repaired.now the problem is when microsoft built these they used cheap metal x clamps and these hold the heat sinks onto the gpu and cpu chip to prevent it from over heating they also used cheap heat sink paste and what then happens is over time the x clamps dont keep pressure on the cpu and gpu chips so this then causes it to lose its cooling power as the hear sink is not pressing on the chips hard enough.so what you need to get done is get the xclamps taken off and the cpu and gpu chips cleaned to look like new and also the bottom of the heat sinks then new heat sink paste will need putting on top of the cpu and gpu chip then a more secure way of holding the heat sinks onto the cpu and gpu chip is needed, now its not easy to do so if you have never done anything like this before then its best leave it to someone who knows as its a nightmare just getting the case off let alone making sure you put the heat sinks back on level.

now i do this repair for about 25 quid plus parts which usually the total is no less than 30 quid and i only charge the labour if the xbox is fully working after the repair so if your not doing the job yourself you will need to shop around and get the best price you can do.

how ever their is no guarantee the repair will solve the problem as the cpu and gpu chip could have got that hot that it has damaged the solder that holds it onto the circuit board now out of every 10 i do only 2 will not be repairable so the odds are pretty good on getting it fixed, the repair takes a few hours and normally solves the problem then most people never have any more problems.

It seems that your unit has some sort of PSU fault, or a problem that is shutting down the Power Supply Unit, PSU. This happens so that no further damage, and possible fire will occur.
You need to take the unit to a reputable service centre/man and ask for a firm "Quote" for the work to be done.
